Event Details

'Vulnerable populations' is a term often used to characterize groups whose needs are not fully addressed by traditional service providers. 'Vulnerable populations' can be defined as people who feel they cannot comfortably or safely access and use the standard health resources offered. They include but are not limited to those who are physically or mentally disabled, migrant populations, culturally isolated populations, medically or chemically dependent, homeless, frail/elderly and children.

A wide range of disciplines addressing vulnerable populations are strongly represented at UCL; disability, maternal and child health, women's health, international health and development, and ethnic and minority health. The UCL Institute for Global Health aims to build on this strength by developing a Vulnerable Populations 'theme', encouraging debate and stimulating new interdisciplinary collaborations to provide solutions to, or open up new areas of enquiry related to vulnerable populations.

We invite UCL researchers, whose work focuses on, or relates to, all aspects of vulnerable populations to a Town Meeting. In addition to researchers in the Faculty of Biomedical Sciences, we would especially like to meet researchers from other faculties.

DATE: Thursday 15th April 2010

TIME: 1-4pm

VENUE: Old Refectory, Wilkins Building, UCL

The aim of the event is to highlight the vast range of research in progress and identify potential areas of connectivity. We wish to explore how the Institute for Global Health can help with new research or related activities.

We'd like to use this event as a forum to present current research or ideas for future research. If you would like to present a current or future project please email Sarah Ball (s.ball@ucl.ac.uk) by Wednesday 31st March and we will try and fit in as many presentations as possible.
